Def Leppard Picture Book Hits Stands

Def Leppard have published the official history of their band in a photo book titled Def Leppard: the Definitive Visual History. Joe Elliott, the band's frontman, wrote the foreword for the book.

Photographer Ross Halfin, who has been shooting the band since 1978, contributed over 450 unseen pics to the book. He also contributed text, while band members and others provide memories and anecdotes.
The band's official website offered a summary of what Leppard fans can expect:

"[The] fully authorized visual history of the band follows them from the new wave of British heavy metal to their massive Pyromania and Hysteria albums to the sustained power of their records and tours today."

Def Leppard: the Definitive Visual History went on sale July 5. It is published by Chronicle Books.
